Trump says he still believes the US can negotiate with Iran's leadership.

Axar.az informs, citing The Guardian, that when asked, Donald Trump said he still felt that the US could reach a peace deal with Iran’s current leadership.

“You have the moderates, you have the lunatics. And I think the moderates are more respected. The lunatics want to fight till the end. It’ll be a very quick fight,” Trump said.

He continued: “Just like our country, we have lunatics too. I call them lunatics, I call them stupid people too. In Iran, they have their moderates who are dying to make a deal and then they have the lunatics.”

When pushed further on whether a diplomatic solution was still possible, Trump responded that “it’s very possible”.

“Look, I’ve had to deal with them four or five times. They changed their mind. They’re very dishonourable people, the leadership,” he added.
